As parents, observing our children's habits can often lead to curiosity and concern. One such common habit is kids biting on straws. But why do they do it? In this guide, we'll explore the reasons behind this behavior and how Avanchy's safe, eco-friendly cups and straws can be a part of the solution.

Understanding the Straw-Biting Habit

Children bite on straws for various reasons. It could be a part of sensory exploration, a way to soothe teething gums, or simply a habit developed over time. Sometimes, it's their way of focusing or coping with sensory overload.
